The decision has been taken to ensure smooth traffic movement across all National Highways and provide relief to cash-starved people following currency ban decision, an official said.

Due to the cash crunch in the market following demonetisation, the government had decided not to collect toll at booths in the country to avoid any clashes.

The Union government had last week extended the suspension of tolls till November 24 midnight for all National Highways, as relief to commuters after Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes were rendered defunct by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Meanwhile, the deadline to use demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes to pay for public utilities will end today midnight.
